    RAID 1 is primarily used for:

    a)
    Maximizing storage capacity by combining drives.
    b)
    Maximizing performance by striping data.
    c)
    Providing high data redundancy through disk mirroring.
    d)
    Balancing performance and parity-based redundancy.

    Explanation

    RAID 1 consists of an exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on two or more disks. This configuration offers excellent data protection and good read performance, but at the cost of storage efficiency, as the total capacity is only that of a single drive in the array.
